When we love some1 that doesn't me that we delete or underestimate ourselves. We should espress rejection, disagreement or discontent as long as we are not in peace with our soulmates'opinions.


12) My 1st No

Sorry but today you're gonna hear my first No!!
Many years, I have said Yes.
Agreed and nodded my head.
I didn't argue.
I just surrendered even when it seemed odd.
And the price I paid ,was more than I could bear.
Which brought the relation to such discomfort.
Since I had to bury what I felt inside,
Wore a smiley face when deep in my heart;
Was battered as a broken glass.
But not Today!!
I will no longer sacrifice for your sake.
Bearing the heavy burden again and again.
I won't be satisfied in my life,
Unless you hear my voice saying No.
No, no , and no more

The heart is full of consolation, for He who has set the limit to our habitation, has also set a limit to our tribulation." Your poem depicts a person with courage and conviction, courage to realize your predicament and conviction to do something about it. One can have courage without conviction, but can't have conviction without courage. You are blessed, you have both. Great write from the heart!

good strong "stand up and be heard poem"
Never lose yourself in order to satisfy another's need to be affirmed especially when you do not agree with the sentiment! Say No or say Yes but whatever you do be firm in your beliefs. No sell outs of your self! Powerful! kathy

.
its always easier to say yes, when no would be better for our own sakes. I admire your courage and your words.
